If you have a chance, take a good look at the last few seconds of the St. Johns / Rutgers game. If this is a precursor to how the NCAA tournament will go, some changes need to be made before it starts.
Player intercepts a pass with a few seconds left, up by two points. He dribbles a few times, goes into a trot (travelling), steps out of bounds, and heaves the ball into the crowd - all with the clock still running! Since the refs didn't call anything, they can't review anything. Game over, Johnnies by two. Should have been two shots for Rutgers for the T (heaving the ball), clock around two seconds to go (OB or travel), ball at the sideline near midcourt to try for the win.
The refs really blew this one. Were they out of position? Maybe tired due to their schedule - older guys having to run the court twice in less than 24 hrs.
